Hearing Gine's counter-question, Talot suddenly realized he had overreacted.
He hurriedly waved his hands and calmed himself down, saying, "Nothing, I was just surprised to hear that Uncle Bardock is coming back so soon. I thought it would be a few more days."
"I see. I thought your little head was up to something strange again," Gine said, feigning indifference.
Talot was special, and she had noticed it from a young age.
In most cases, any Saiyan with adequate combat strength, especially upper-class warriors, would always strive to climb higher.
For example, her eldest son Raditz had been trying to prove himself from a young age, and now that he had become a Prince's lackey, he rarely came home more than twice a month.
Talot was more mature and intelligent, a level of intelligence that no one his age could match.
Just this fact alone made Gine often compare Talot to other children. Despite all of them undergoing the Genetic Memory Inheritance Technique, the differences were stark.
While there were some lower-class warriors like Talot who were relatively low-key, none of them had such high intelligence. Moreover, Talot was an upper-class warrior, a Saiyan fully dedicated to combat.
"Aunt Gine, you carry on with your work. I'll go check on Kakarot in the room."
Afraid that continuing to chat with Gine might expose his emotions and reveal his thoughts, Talot hastily found an excuse.
Seeing Gine nod, Talot quickly entered the inner room.
As Talot left her sight, a look of confusion flashed across Gine's eyes.
For some reason, although Talot hadn't shown anything particularly strange, she felt that today's Talot was a bit odd.
"Maybe I'm overthinking it, or perhaps this child is really growing up," Gine muttered to herself, then continued with her chores.
---
Entering the inner room, Talot's first sight was the Incubation Pod in the corner of the room.
The child inside the pod looked quite grown, even though his combat power at birth was only 2, his body was far superior to that of a typical human child.
"We meet again, Kakarot. Too bad, you're still sleeping," Talot muttered under his breath and stepped closer for a closer look.
Every time he came, he felt the same way.
It was impossible not to, given how special this kid was—the protagonist of the original story!
Reborn into the Dragon Ball world, If not for being a穿越者 (穿越者 translates to '穿越者' in English, which means '穿越者'. However, to maintain the context and natural flow, it should be translated as 'reincarnated person' or '穿越者' in this context), it was hard to imagine that a mere six-month-old infant, the lowest-ranked warrior of his clan, would not only revive the legend of the Super Saiyan but also become one of the most powerful warriors in the universe.
Memories flooded back, especially that one phrase he could never forget: the moment Kakarot transformed into a Super Saiyan, the entire world of anime dimmed in comparison.
In his past life, it was just an anime, but now, for Talot, it was reality.
After a long moment of reflection, Talot took out his Power Level Detector.
Although he already knew Kakarot's combat power, and had used the old model detector before, Talot still turned on the new model to measure Kakarot's combat power.
'Beep beep beep... beep beep beep...'
[Power Level: 2]
As usual, there was no change; it was still only 2 combat points.
What was different was that the detector also displayed the danger level and some basic information. Of course, these data points weren't really important.
[In a while, you will be sent to Earth to start your journey in life.]
Talot didn't say it out loud but thought it to himself.
In fact, when it came to Kakarot, Talot didn't need to think much about it, because he already knew how the story would unfold.
As long as he didn't intervene or take action, nothing would change.
His future was happy.
At least he could grow up carefree, and because of his uniqueness, he would gradually make friends with a large group of people, then search for the Dragon Balls, continuously find new masters, and keep growing...
Compared to Raditz, Vegeta, and Nappa, who survived under Frieza's tyranny, and Tobu, Broly, and Paragus, who were scattered across other planets... there was no doubt that he was the one living the most comfortable life.
"Sometimes, I really envy you, and even think of taking your place. But as the days go by, I now have my own thoughts." Talot spoke to Kakarot in the Incubation Pod, not caring whether he could hear or understand.
After saying this, Talot turned and walked out of the room without any hesitation.
It was unclear whether his voice had disturbed him or if the sound of walking and closing the door was too loud, but Kakarot's tightly closed eyes twitched slightly inside the Incubation Pod.
...
Outside, Talot didn't leave immediately. Instead, he chatted with Gine for a while before bidding farewell and returning to his own home.
The two adjacent houses, Talot's home wasn't big, but it was small yet complete.
For him, it was just right.
Living alone, he didn't need much space, as long as he had everything he needed.
"That instinctive fear has finally completely disappeared, which means those two beings should have left Planet Vegeta." Talot let out a sigh of relief and then focused his attention.
Now, he didn't have the ability to think about things like the God of Destruction or the Angel.
"Once Bardock returns, I can be 100% sure of how far the plot has progressed."
Lying on the bed, Talot fell into deep thought again.
Actually, Talot could only deduce based on the plot he knew.
For example, as a穿越者 (穿越者 means someone who has traveled through time or dimensions, but in this context, it can be translated as "time traveler"), he knew that during this period, there were actually multiple different timelines.
Specifically, they could be considered as two timelines.
The first one was the earliest Dragon Ball Z timeline, where Bardock was sent on a mission to invade the Canasa Planet. During the invasion, he was betrayed by the Canasa Planet inhabitants, which briefly granted him the ability to foresee the future. Because of this foresight, he gradually revealed Frieza's plan to deal with the Saiyans and ultimately destroy Planet Vegeta.
The second one was the later Dragon Ball Minus timeline. However, this timeline change might as well be considered a different story in a parallel universe. The plot changed to Bardock and other Saiyans invading the Cyril Planet. During this mission, they learned of Frieza's plan to deal with the Saiyans, and Bardock sent Kakarot away before it was too late, thus setting the story in motion.
Actually, Talot was fairly certain that the world he was in was similar to the main timeline of Dragon Ball Z.
Because Kakarot was only half a year old, Vegeta and Raditz were five years old, and it was currently Age 737.
In the Dragon Ball Minus timeline, Kakarot was already three years old in Age 737, and he arrived on Earth at the age of three, not including the time it took for the spaceship to travel from Planet Vegeta to Earth.
